Then why do you attack me viciously the way you do? You have provided
some clues: you are a deeply religious person and appear to believe that
the ethics you demand of others does not apply to yourself at all. This
is the kind of evil that mankind has had to deal with for ages, usually
by having to kill the religious morons. This still goes on. Please move
to a country where they would treat you like you deserve.

| it DOES hurt). Comparable arguments hold for many of the other terms
| used in verban abuse.
No, idiot, it is an indication that the behavior displayed, such as your
behavior and hypocrisy, is that of an idiot, and that if that person
wishes _not_ to appear to be an idiot, he better change it. You would
never understand this, because you have already given enough clues to
suspect that you think you areare always the righteous guy and everybody
else is wrong. Thus your hypocrisy is not even a problem to you.
| But if some of the heat can be removed by creating another newsgroup, why
| not?
Why not shut the fuck up with your hypocrisy and just go away, instead?
